Whitfield was diagnosed with his cancer in early 2010 and after six chemotherapy sessions, he was declared cancer free. As he was to begin filming the second season of Spartacus, a routine medical revealed the disease had returned. A year later Whitfield was dead.

Now his fans are being urged to help preserve his legacy by helping bring his documentary to the screen. The filmmakers have turned to Kickstarter – the fundraising platform for creative projects.

The organization will only help fund Be Here Now if $200,000 is pledged by July 23. They have just 29 days to raise roughly $50,000 to meet their goal or the movie won’t get made.
